	Gaius Cilnius Maecenas - Wikipedia
		Gaius Cilnius Maecenas is de naam van een beroemde Romeinse staatsman en kunstbeschermer.
		Maecenas was ook zelf literair actief, maar er bleef weinig van zijn werk bewaard: kenners beweren dat het bol staat van neologismen, rare woorden en gezochte wendingen.
		Oud en ziek geworden smeekte hij de goden in een satirisch gedicht om hem desnoods een bochel te bezorgen of zijn tanden uit te hollen, als ze hem maar in leven lieten.

		Villa of Maecenas in Tivoli, Italy, Jacob Philipp Hackert, 1783.
		Gaius or Cilnius Maecenas (70 - 8 BC) was a confidant and political advisor to Augustus Caesar, as well as an important sponsor of young poets.
		Maecenas is probably most famous for his support of young poets, hence his name has become a synonym to "patron of arts" in many languages.

		Suetonius (Augustus, 66) attributes the loss of the imperial favor to Maecenas having indiscreetly revealed to Terentia, his wife, the discovery of the conspiracy in which her brother Murena was implicated.
		Maecenas endeavoured also to divert the less masculine genius of Propertius from harping continually on his love to themes of public interest.
		The great charm of Maecenas in his relation to the men of genius who formed his circle was his simplicity, cordiality and sincerity.

		Gaius Maecenas was the descendant of an Etruscan family and belonged to the "bourgeois" class of Roman knights.
		Gaius Maecenas used his enormous wealth to create an artistic coterie of poets and writers of the first order, among them Virgil, Horace and Propertius, all of whom he patronised and financed.
		The aim of this circle was twofold: to encourage the arts - Maecenas himself was a poet and a refine connoisseur - and to orchestrate political propaganda in favour of Augustus; it succeeded in both goals.

		Maecenas held no office or military command but administered Rome and Italy for Octavian when he was fighting, and he swiftly and secretly scotched a plot to kill Octavian.
		Maecenas always competed however subtly with Agrippa for influence and after he was forced to tell his wife that the plot had been discovered to give her brother a chance to escape, his influence with Agustus waned.

		In the mid-30s he received from Maecenas, as a gift or on lease, a comfortable house and farm in the Sabine hills (identified with considerable probability as one near Licenza, 22 miles [35 kilometres] northeast of Rome), which gave him great pleasure throughout his life.

	Re: VIRGIL: Gaius Maecenas???
		Maecenas had a circle of 'clients' that he supported including Horace (though none of them he supported fully - it wasn't a wage thing) and they had no official obligation to speak well of Maecenas.
		If Octavian and Maecenas were such great mates, maecenas would be a bit hurt if Virgil tore him to pieces.
		Maecenas inspires Virgil to write of bigger issues, specifically those of Caesar's wars (see the proem to book 3).
